(Continued from page 1.) thinks. "I visited eastern capitalists In an effort to ascertain what pros pects are for procuring capital to fi nance projects in the west," said Mr. Collier. "To my surprise I found that New York financiers are willing to buy bonds on manufacturing plants, after the plant has - been developed and the promoters can show the east ern money holders that the plant will be a revenue getter. There Is ready sale for bonds on Industries that are either wholly or nearly developed completely, but few back there .will take up bonds on mere projects that look good. If we can bring the local Irrigation scheme to a finished project and the club will keep driving at this particular nail untU such Is the case we have then but to develop some of the power running Jto waste now, and this valley will become the mecca for eastern homeseekers and wealthy men, like Nampa, Caldwell and Twin Falls will in less than a year. That section of Idaho is rapid ly procuring lnterurban railroads, now that Irrigation schemes are either realized or about to be, and the results .will be of such a character that we cannot comprehend them." This line of discussion led" Mr. Col lier Into explanation of a new lnterur ban car motor power. He finds the middle west using with great success a gasoline engine mechanism which operates, an lnterurban car as the en gine on an automobile. The cost of fuel Is not great and the- cost of string ing wires and erecting wire poles, aside from procuring the electric pow er. Is eliminated. Such a scheme would be well to adopt in this valley when the lnterurban railroad whtch-ls sure to follow irrigation, takes shape. . Mr. Collier looked into the fruit markets also, and though he had but time to study then casually, he learns that the eastern market demands pres tige in the west When the east sends orders of a certain class of apples they want that class shipped, and Mr. Collier is only more firmly Impressed with the theory that honesty in filling orders is the best and only policy. " Space Interferes with a continued discussion of what Mr., Collier has learned along similar lines of public boosting, but from time to time theo ries acquired back there will assert themselves In the actions of the local board of managers of the Commercial club. ' i Dancers of AU National New York, Sept. It. School chil dren of the metropolis and surround ing cities are- today engaged. In demon strating an attractive program of sports and pastimes for the benefit of the distinguished delegates to the con gress of the Playground Association of America.
